    I was always jealous of people who owned a Whirley Pop...until two weeks ago when I got mine. I rave about my Whirley Pop to everyone. Fortunately, I got one with the metal gears and they work beautifully. I'm also a kettle corn fan and the Whirley Pop makes an awesome batch of kettle corn in less than 3 minutes. I can't say enough good things about this little wonder. It's just incredible!

    I found another adjustment. The lid on my popper got slightly bent on the side away from the handle. This made my gears a little notchy. Bending the lid back flat got it running smooth again. Thanks for the video. It got me looking at my popper more closely to identify my issue. ;)

    I LOVE when my mom makes popcorn in the Whirly Pop! It’s the best I’ve ever had. Also, being a country squirrel, it’s the only popcorn I’ve ever had (in VERY limited amounts, because, you know, I’m a squirrel) My whole family loves the Whirly Pop! And thanks for this easy to follow vid to fix ours so I can have some tonight!

    We love our Whirley-Pop and were devastated when the gear on top became out of alignment. Thankfully, you have made this straightforward video showing me how to fix the gears. I have noticed that there appears to be some wear on the gears and wonder if one is able to order a replacement gear from you? And, hopefully a video instructing how to replace it?

    Mine was packaged badly for shipping, just a bunch of air bags at one end of box. It was making a racket as I opened the box. If there was packing inside and around the unit it might save us from hunting down this video to fix it.

    The gears on mine are working fine, but the wires dont seem to be stirring right. Do they need adjusting?

    Alex, you may adjust the stir wires by gently bending them. You want the stir wires low enough to move the corn around the pan. You do not want the stir wires to scrape the bottom or sides of the pan. Feel free to reach out to the Warranty Department at 888-314-7733 if you need any additional assistance. We are available Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm EST.

    The other reason is that it wasn't manufactured properly. None of these fixes will work for that and I was really looking forward to trying it.

    pretty damned cheesy build quality. Who wants to have to mess with fixing the damned thing just for a simple batch of popcorn, and why in the world would nylon even be considered to construct gears???

    A lot of people have that same thought. But, actually the Whirley Pop is purposely designed that way. By using very thin metal, the pot heats up extremely quickly. I usually have a batch of regular popcorn done from start to finish in a little over two minutes, and, a batch of kettle corn in less than 3 1/2 minutes. As for the gears, I agree that nylon should never be used. I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago and it had the metal gears, thankfully. So, it's possible that all Whirley Pops are made with metal gears now. It makes a fantastic batch of popcorn. I even make kettle corn in mine and cleanup is a snap. It's really an excellent popper.

    I’ve been using a WhirleyPop for years. I’m on my third unit, not because there’s anything wrong with the quality, but because I pop so much corn, the machine doesn’t stand a chance. I really enjoy the stainless unit because the pan heats more evenly, and I seldom have a less-than-perfect batch. I make popcorn and give it away to friends and family, so I buy kernels in 50-pound bags. I just opened my 5th bag since January. I figured out that the cleanup is exactly the same for 20 batches as it is for one batch. I bag it up in gallon-sized freezer bags. Today I made 21 bags of regular corn and 13 bags of kettle corn. It’ll be gone by the end of the week! I’m taking some to my dentist tomorrow. Everyone at the office loves it, and I always remind them to floss! I really enjoy my WhirleyPop, and I especially enjoy blessing others with what I’m able to do. Tie Dye, I hope that gives you a bit of perspective! If you lived near me, I’d just make the popcorn for you, and it would become a non-issue! God’s blessings to you!
